Uzbekistan's Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics performed its first hip replacement using an AI-powered robot assistant. The procedure was broadcast live online to medical specialists in all regions of the country.

Before the operation, the system analyzes the patient's CT scan and creates a virtual surgical plan. During the procedure, the robot helps perform precise movements and install the prosthesis at the required angle, which is especially important in cases of severe joint deformities. According to Uzbek doctors, the technology can reduce the risk of complications and accelerate patient recovery. Specialists from China and other countries also participated in the operation.

Concurrently, the center performs over 40 surgical interventions in collaboration with doctors from Russia, China, South Korea, India, and Europe. Online broadcasts allow regional medical professionals to observe the operations and discuss surgeons' actions without traveling to the capital. In the future, robotic arthroplasty is planned for implementation in the medical center's branches outside Tashkent.
